Description Edit | History

A cooperative game of fire rescue.

The call comes in... "911, what is your emergency?" On the other end is a panicked response of "FIRE!" Moments later you don the protective suits that will keep you alive, gather your equipment and rush to the scene of a blazing inferno. The team has only seconds to assess the situation and devise a plan of attack - then you spring into action like the trained professionals that you are. You must face your fears, never give up, and above all else work as a team because the fire is raging, the building is threatening to collapse and lives are in danger.

You must succeed. You are the brave men and women of fire rescue, people are depending on you. This is what you do every day.

Flash Point: Fire Rescue is a cooperative game. All the players are on the same team and everyone either wins or loses together. To win, the players must rescue the victims trapped inside a burning building before the fire gets out of control or the building collapses.

More Information Edit | History

This cooperative firefighting game comes with two sets of rules:

Family Rules: Setup involves putting fire, victim, and door tokens in set positions on the board. The game is won by rescuing at least seven people from the burning building. If you run out of damage tokens for the building (meaning that the building collapses), or four people perish in the fire, you lose the game. A turn consists of a player using four Action Points, Advancing the Fire, and replenishing Points of Interest.

Experienced Rules: The board is set up randomly with the addition of hot spots and hazardous materials. Players each get an individual firefighter with a special and unique skill. Emergency vehicles also are part of the Experienced game.

This is the map I made for the Oktoberfest scenario (http://flyhi.de/games/fpfr_oktoberfest.html). Fire spreads fast on this map because there are only a few walls. Special rules apply to the tent.
